The Queen first called at the

The conjunction Of royalty and
democracy was especially inter
esting as presented at the State
dinner. The President OF nearly
sixty millions of freemen led out
the queen consort, Kapiolani, Of
little more than sixty-thousand
people, and sat at ono end OF his
official board with the dusky hued
Queen on his right and the dusky
princess accompanying her on
his left. For once, at least,
since the b beginning of his
Administration, Mr.. Cleveland
found himself flanked by two
women who could not talk back
TO him. Neither Of them had
sufficient command of English for
general conversation. At the
other end Of the table sat Mira.
Cleveland and MinisterCarter, who
represents the little kingdom in

gayly as she talked to her escort

CAIRO, H., Oct. "a funny lawsuit
was decided by Judge Mccartney in the
circuit court. William Nseee, a farmer
residing in the upper part of 5his county,
a short time ago started hurriedly for
Cape Girardeau after medicine for a sick
and valuable horse. The ferryboat be.
tween East Cape Girardeau and Cape
Girardeau was over four hours making
the round trip, al unnecessary delay, and
when Neece arrived home the horse was
dead. He sued the owners of the boat,
Wood & Carroll, FOR damages. The court
threw out the question of damages, brit
gave the plaintiff So as q healing balm
and divided the costs. The novelty of
the claim attracted considerable atten-
ton.

LONDON, Oct. 8.-The agitation among
the miners has spread to Derbyshire.
The workmen in that district have just
held a conference in which they decided
TO petition for eight hours a day. Social
istic ideas are said to be making rapid
progress among the miners. Heretofore
they have been a surprisingly conserva-
tive class; probably because though
poorly paid, their work is tolerably con-
stant. Whatever may be true of other
classes of laborers, there Is no doubt that
the English miner is better off than his
American fellow. The accounts OF the
condition. of miners now in Pennsyl-
yania represented here from American
papers have created surprise and have
furnished rampant free traders with new
argument of more or less plausibility,

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 3.-For a consid-
cradle length of time the officers Of the
Detroit City railway company, have had
suspicious that the receipts from their
Congress and Baker street lines were not
as large as they should be. An inyesti.
cation led to the belief that the company
was being defrauded by a combination Of

much to their surprise. Some Of the
men got into a car and shortly after dark
attacked and severely beat one or two of

team of horses ran off down the street
causing terror among tho people. The
rioters dispersed just before the police
arrived. Snpt. Barry of the lines named
has also been discharged, the company

Really Remark .ble Narrative--Story
of the B~eheading of His Fathsr apd
the Tribulatiops of a Mother-An In-
terest.ns biography Made Public.
DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 3.-Arthur j.
Barnes, Al years old, a Methodist church,
man in good standing and reputable and
perfectly truthful gentleman, has caused
a sensation here by a remarkable story
which he has made public and which
would be set down as the vagaries OF an
insane mind if it were not thought posi-
lively that MN. Barnes is clearly sane,
and If he did not tell Il connected and cir
cum stantial narrative. Mr.. Barnes has
lived in Detroit Tor twenty-five yeas,
has been a clerk, and now has an Office
at 80 Mcliraw block. He is a man of
swarthy complexion, tail and angular,
with black side whisxers and dark hair,
slightly siiyered, and looks much like an
Italian, which he says he is.
Until 81 years ago. said Mr.. Barnes,
II thought | was the son OF the English
man and woman who had brought me
up. Then they thought proper to tell me
| who / was. 1t is from their accounts, veri-
fed by historical data and circumstance
occurring On a trip | very recently made
to Italy, that make up this biography
and induces me to make it.public."
Mr.. Barnes says that he is I.ucien De-
mont Carnesia, one OF the prince regents
of that name of Italy N 1886. Italy was
then torn asunder by internal and eX-
ternal discorl. His uncle, Mazzini, was
the recognized head of the party known
RS young Italy, until Garibaldi sue
ceeded him. In 1889 Barnes father was
made prisoner by con%spirators, who be-
headed him just six months before yonng
Carnesia's birth. This took place on
%shipboard, on the H. NJ. S. Halcyon,
where his mother had escaped, and where,
during an engagement, she was hit by a
shell and killed. The child was taken to
England and adopted by a family named
Burret, who were paid 500 a year for his
care. The Burrets went to Australia,
were shipwreckel and cast OF q small
island, taken off in an American whaler
and landed at Prince Edwards island.
The Burrets then settled in Montreal.
Thence they went TO California, and later
to Cuba. The overland train to the Pa
cifc was attacked by Indians, who were
beaten off, and another shipwreck occur
red On the voyage to Cuba. The family
finally located in Toronto, Ontario, where
young Carnei5a was told the story of his
birth. He married in Toronto and came
to Detroit, taking the name of Barnes.
He recently thought he would investigate
the story of his parentage, and went to
Italy, where he proved his identity, hut.
preferring to live here to q seat in the
Italian house of lords, he returned. In q
certain contingency he might inherit the
Italian crown, he says.

SON OF a CRUSADER KILLED.
Sensational Tragedy Growing oat of tho
Tennessee

Tennessee Campaign.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Oct. "A sensa-
tional tragedy, growing out OF the recent
prohibition campaign, was enacted at
Greenville, Tenn w. E. f. Milhurn, a
member of the legislature from Green
county, shot and Instantly killed a young
man named William Ward, a son Of Bet
sY Ward, of woman's cruaade fame. 1t
seems that MI. Milburn remarked, in
Wards presence, that il the people of
middle and west Tennessee had not sold
out to the whisky men, the prohibition
amendment would have carried. Ward
called Milburn a liar. whereupon Mil
burn reached for his hip pocket and
pulled his gun, shooting Ward through
the left breast. Milburn surrendered
himself to the authorities at once.
The trouble really grew out of a speech
made by Milburn at Greenville a week
ago He stated in his speech that Betsy
was q whisky seller and an ex-jail bird,
end that another seloon-keeper in the
town was IN ex-pcnitentiary convict.
Young Ward took the remark as an in.
suit to his mother, and it is said threat
oued o,kilf Milburn, who is considered
to be q very quiet man, not disposed to
fight Milburn quickly armed himself
and waited for the attack, which am
no sooner than he expected. The town
was instantly plunged into a state OF
wildcat excitement and many rumors of
q sensational nature were started.
Betsy Ward acquired national fame
during the woman's crusade several res
ago. She had been r6nning a bar-room
f5r several years and when the crusaders
struck the town she defied them. They
succeeded in closing every other saloon
in the place, They Quilt 4 ter on a va.

for that absence and a gloriflcation of it.

Here in fully personality, in richer infiu-
ence, in tender sympathy. That which
is local, physical, disproportionate, bur-
densome, is gone. But the ardent ard
royal spirituality, the new creation Is
alive forever more. Our friends
never get a real grip of us
until they get into heaven and
reach down to us and are aided
in their reaching by the whole leverage
of their elevation. We are glad that our
friends have risen way above the cloud
and fog, the storm, the cold wind, the
night. 1t is enough and our intirmity
would like to know a little more, but
our faith says, .Lord it suffice.o The
